On July 31, 2024, the Company acquired a minority equity interest in NovAliX a preclinical contract research organization specializing in expert drug discovery services, headquartered in Strasbourg, France. The Company obtained a 30% interest in NovAliX’s common stock in exchange for consideration of EUR 31.5 million (approximately $34.1 million). The Company accounts for its investment in NovAliX using the equity-method of accounting. Concurrent with the transaction, the Company entered into an agreement with the remaining shareholders that provides the Company with the right to purchase, and the shareholders with the right to sell, the remaining ownership of NovAliX for cash at a contractually defined redemption value exercisable beginning in 2029 and ending in 2034. The Company recognized a liability, classified in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet, related to the potential obligation to acquire the remaining equity interests if the purchase option is exercised, estimated at EUR 14.4 million (approximately $16.0 million) using the discounted cash flow method.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized $24.6 million in impairment charges, to write down the carrying value of certain minority investments which are accounted for under the measurement alternative.
